Is calcium-fortified juice WIC-eligible?
Calcium-fortified juice that meets the minimum Federal requirements for a WIC-eligible juice (100 percent fruit/vegetable juice that contains 30 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 milliliters of juice) is WIC-eligible. It may be used for the fruit/vegetable juice component of the WIC food packages up to the maximum quantities for juice. WIC State agencies have the option of approving calcium-fortified juice for inclusion on their lists of approved WIC juices, as they do with other WIC-eligible foods. State agencies are encouraged to develop policies and procedures for local agencies to follow when issuing calcium-fortified juice.
